FiveThirtyEight: Politics Done Right: Tuesday Night Live

FiveThirtyEight is blogging tonight’s primary returns.  These are the live updates.

9:36 PM [Nate]. We now have significantly more sophisticated methodology to handle three-candidate races in the Senate. Don’t know that Kendrick Meek is likely to be terribly happy about the result that we’ll show for him tomorrow. Even if he peels some votes off from Crist, it’s going to be quite difficult for him to knock off both Crist and Rubio simultaneously. We assume super high variance in three-candidate races, but Meek’s just not winning very many simulations.

We’ll keep this slow-paced and sort of open-ended — a necessity when polls don’t close in Alaska until midnight. Perhaps later on in the evening, I can grab a tasty beverage and even take a few questions from the comments section. There’s a lot of stuff that we’re very excited to roll out for you over the next week or so.
